And the truth is I almost gave up. But with the encouragement from my better half, I pressed on!
🥳
I want to encourage you to do the same in this challenging time. 🥰

The inside of this toolbox was sanded this morning

The inside of this toolbox was sanded this morning!
😷
I used two different types of power sanders:
👉🏻DeWalt Orbital Sander
👉🏻Ginour Detail Sander
The orbital sander is a great general purpose sander. The detail sander has a pointed end to get into corners.
😷
I wore my mask to protect myself from inhaling all that dust. This is especially important (always important!) when sanding the interiors of boxes like this - the dust will blow back towards you!
🤧
There is still time to vote for the color in my stories! I will be tallying up the votes later today so stay tuned!
🥳
I plan on painting the toolbox on a Facebook Live on Monday! What time sounds good for you?? Comment below with an EST!

Woohoo for a fresh coat of paint! 😀 I finished

Woohoo for a fresh coat of paint!
😀
I finished the second coat of paint in the dining room, cleaned up the painting supplies, put the room together (most of it!) and oh yeah, scraped fly droppings off of the floor!
😁
The things we do to stay busy!
😜
What are you up to today?
😃

Sooooo our dining room is getting painted today!
😃
We have had the paint for several months and we are just now getting around to painting our public rooms.
😆
One wall in the dining room is a textured wall - we installed T1-11 ( I think that’s how you say it!) to bring some character to the room about 8 years ago. Thats an easy project tutorial for another time.
😉
For now I will show you how I paint a textured wall using my fave paint brush - The Palm Pro from Zibra!
😁
Slide through to see the video and pics.

Have any questions about this project?? Then let’s chat!!

And hey, don’t be jealous of my stylish hair-do!!

Maybe you are thinking this is not a very pretty picture...
😝
Believe me, I get what you’re thinking. Goo-ey, slimey, sticky, messy, peeling. Just plain yucky! (Paint removal is not for the faint at heart!)
😜
But I choose to see potential.
😀
I choose to see history.
😃
I choose to see determination.
😄
I choose to see perseverance.
😀
I choose to see beauty in the process.
😊
I choose to see the results.
☺️
I choose to look ahead and look forward.
🥰
What do you see during the long process of paint removal?

Ya’ know how we love to reinvent things around here, right??
😀
Often, you can figure out the parts we used to recreate our home decor items.
😄
But I might have you stumped on this one!
😁
We used the two arms on a broken wood rocker, joined them at the center and created the hanging section of this sign!
😃
The sign is hand painted on a reclaimed piece of barnwood from a late 1800’s barn in Maryland.
😁
My better half reclaimed the lumber after the big reclaimers were finished with the barn. It was in the scrap pile!
☺️
We go to all lengths to reinvent interesting and unique home decor!
😍
Just for you!
☺️
This sign is available for local pickup after everything settles down. DM me to reserve it for your home!

Just staying busy over here in the workshop! I hop

This solid oak fold down desk is spoken for but you can see the transformation story on my blog!
😀
It is a three part series where I will talk about the decision to paint or not to paint, simple repairs and the final result!
😊
Part 1 is ready to read today and the next two parts will be ready soon!
☺️
And I have a new link page! Woohoo!!
😍
Doin’ the happy dance over here!!

That was a HUGE accomplishment for me today! Click the link in my bio and you can see it for yourself!

Woohoo the Tool Box Coffee Table has legs!!! 😃

Woohoo the Tool Box Coffee Table has legs!!!
😃
Listen, I am not kidding when I say this one is definitely one of my favorite tool box makeovers to date!
😃
I absolutely love taking an item that would have been in the trash heap and reinventing it into such a unique and useful item for someone’s home!
😀
Tool boxes represent the working class, the individuals who are not afraid to get their hands dirty and those who value the tools that are required for the job.
☺️
Tool boxes remind us of hard work, dedicated people and challenges to be faced.
😀
And when you add a set of hairpin legs to a wood toolbox?? There are no words!!
☺️
This one is available for purchase and local pickup. DM for pricing and measurements!
😊
Swipe to see a few other toolbox makeovers we have done over the years!
😃
I hope this post inspires you to find a vintage tool box and add some legs to it! This idea is my contribution to Layla’s from @letteredcottage #letsgowithlayla Weekly “5 Fun Finds or Ideas Show” each Wednesday on her account! Check her out!
